_Kaiser's Gallic War Books, I. & II._, a new edition, very much revised
since August by General VON KLUCK and other accomplished scholars, are
certain to be of great use for educational purposes.
NATURAL HISTORY.
In this department a work likely to be enquired for is _The Dogs of St.
Bernhardi_, by General VON MOLTKE.
FICTION.
The demand for fiction in Germany is said to be without parallel and the
supply appears to be not inadequate. Among forthcoming volumes there
should be a demand for _Der Tag; or, It Never Can Happen Again_.
GENERAL.
_Proverbial Philosophy_ contains the favourite proverbs of various
persons of eminence. From the Imperial FINANCE MINISTER comes: "It's
never too late to lend." From General MANTEUFFEL (the destroyer of
Louvain library): "Too many books spoil the Goth." The CROWN PRINCE
contributes: "Beware the rift within the loot."

ROOSEVELT UNMASKED.
It is sad to relate, but persistent efforts to maintain the
disinterested claim on American friendship which we Germans have always
(when in need of it) advanced, continue to be misrepresented in that
stronghold of atheistical materialism and Byzantine voluptuousness, New
York. To the gifted Professor von Schwank's challenge, that he could not
fill a single "scrap of paper" with the record of acts of war on our
part which were incompatible with Divine guidance and the promulgation
of the higher culture, the effete and already discredited ROOSEVELT has
merely replied, "Could fill Rheims." This is very poor stuff and worthy
only of a creature who combines with the intellectual development of a
gorilla the pachymenia of the rhinoceros and the dental physiognomy of
the wart-hog. ROOSEVELT, once our friend, is plainly the enemy and must
be watched. Should he decide, however, even at the eleventh hour, to
fall in line with civilisation, he can rely on finding in Germany, in
return for any little acts of useful neutrality which he may be able to
perform, a generous ally, a faithful upholder of treaty obligations, and
a tenacious friend. There must surely be something that America
covets--something belonging to one of our enemies. Between men of honour
we need say no more.
